evening PH

Whilst this isn't that interesting, ive just found an photo on my laptop, and would like to work out what it is. The main thing thats intriguing me is the colour, might that indicate something special or a sign of its age where that colour was the norm.

It's a merc,
beyond that, my knowledge of mercs chassis codes and years fails me sadly, this is where you come in!

Anyways, very boring, but if someone can shed some light on it, would be awesome. Cheers
John

It's a 70s Merc, I'd guess W115 from the look but hard to tell without seeing the headlights. Predecessor to the legendary W123 and the last of the stacked (or tombstone) headlight models.

The colour is pretty standard for the period. They were all yellow, brown or orange in those days!

Sounds fishy to me. If it's an old pic from your library, then co-incidentally it's also on rightmove.

A W115 would be my guess.
